I'm not attempting anything new or ingenious here, just keeping up with friends and family by documenting snippets of my life.

Milan

Milan's Duomo. The construction of this Gothic-style building was begun in 1386 and took a whopping 5 centuries to complete!

Doors leading into the magnificent Duomo, the second largest Catholic cathedral in the world!

Castello Sforzesco, a castle that was originally built in the 14th century.

Aperitivo in Milan, an amazing and popular offering within the city, in which you pay for drinks and get a meal's worth of tapas-like snacks as well!

I have a disorder. I have to say hello to every puppy and kitty I meet. The first Italian phrase I learned was, "Hello puppy!" so I could greet Italian dogs in their own language. In case you're wondering how you, too, can greet Italian dogs, the correct phrase is "Ciao cucciolo!"
